There are some promising treatments for aging skin. Retinoic acid and Glycolic Acid available as a cream and also used successfully in treating acne, improve the surface texture of the skin, reduce irregular pigmentation, and increase dermal collagen if applied daily for several months. Newer anti aging products containing the anti-oxidant idabenone (Prevage-MD) and protein growth factors (TNS) also show promise in reversing some of the effects of the sun and aging.

Botox Treatments

Creases caused by facial expressions such as squinting, frowning or smiling can be treated by a dermatologist, using what are called injectable soft tissue "dermal fillers" such as collagen (Zyderm), hyaluronic acid (Restylane) or fat. These dermal fillers are injected into the skin under wrinkles and scars to puff out creases or scars. A naturally produced toxin, botulinum (Botox), can also be injected to "relax" the small muscles and thus eliminate expression lines (frown lines) on the forehead and around the eyes. Broken blood vessels accompany these wrinkles and can be treated with lasers or cautery.

Laser Treatments

None of these remedies can guarantee the appearance of youthful skin, but they can improve the overall appearance of your skin. Wrinkled skin may be improved by resurfacing with lasers, dermabrasion or chemical peels. Before you undertake any treatment or surgery, discuss your options with your dermatologist and be careful of treatments by non-physicians.

A recent review in The Archives of Dermatology concludes that three anti-aging treatments are proven clinically effective: the topical application of retinol; carbon dioxide laser resurfacing; and injection of hyaluronic acid, a moisture-retaining acid that occurs naturally in the skin. Each depends on the same mechanism, the interaction of skin cells called fibroblasts with the collagen they produce.

To be best throughout the life, People should practice ant aging techniques and utilize anti aging treatments, as well as practice good nutrition and take supplements that will help you feel better and may even help you have a longer life.

Thanks to modern medical science, anti-aging skin care products and natural supplements have attained something of a cult status. Results from some of these products are tangible and visible. However, not all of them are valid treatments. Certain manufacturers simply exploit the desperation prevailing among those who would do anything to look young again.

Anti-aging skin care products tend to approach the issue of aging from various angles. The skin is obviously the primary focus, since dull, wrinkled skin is a dead giveaway. However, certain variants claim to reverse the entire metabolic process of aging, thereby restoring youthful looks. One must view products that make such miraculous claims with extreme suspicion.

my in-laws use Facial Secret. It uses LED light therapy to eliminate all kinds of skin imperfections...5-10min a day. I have seen the results and I would recommend it. It is also good because you use the unit in your own home. If ya'll are interested the website is www.facialsecret.com

I’ve been a regular face at the hospital to get treatment for my condition. After a very long time, I kind of almost gave up. Then one of my friends introduced me to Purity 12 products. I said to myself, how can this be a solution to my problems? He encouraged me to try it first and that there’s no harm in trying anyway, and he told me that he’s been using their products and made a business out of it. As a friend, he bought some products for me as a gift so I could try them. Now, I’m really thankful that I received this gift. It’s been the best gift I have ever received since. I feel better, a lot more energetic and like I’m a totally new person! It’s really important to me to be able to share my story with you because I also want people like me to make this discovery and make their lives finally better! If you want to know more about them, everything is on their website. http://if1s.com?112

I recently found a new line of products that is said to reverse the signs of aging at the cellular level using a galvanic current. Pretty interesting articles, by third parties, have reinforced these products. I found them at www.simplebeauty.nsedreams.com. Its called the Galvanic Spa with facial gels. Gave me an instant facelift, super cool!! It only took 5 minutes and last a couple days. Can only imagine what would happen if I used it longer.
